Glass
Kolbe offers glazing options to provide optimum energy efficiency for the geographic region in which you live. Low-E is a “smart” coating that reduces energy transfer through the insulating glass unit. The result is reduced heating and cooling costs throughout the year. Low-E coatings also reduce the potential for condensation, as
well as provide protection against fading of furniture, fabrics and carpeting. Kolbe offers the following Low-E glass options, as well as many specialized options.
Solar Low-E Suitable for most climates and meets most energy zone requirements. Solar Low-E glass is designed to reflect room-side heat back into the room during winter months. In summer, visible sunlight is allowed in while blocking most of the sun’s infrared heat energy. Kolbe’s standard. Solar Gain Low-E When the weather turns frigid, Solar Gain Low-E glass is the perfect cold remedy. It keeps homes warmer and more comfortable by blocking heat loss to the outside and letting the sun’s heat stream in to increase solar heat gain. Solar Advanced Control Low-E A tinted glass recommended for warm climates that achieves solar control over a wide range of the spectrum, while also helping to reduce glare. Solar Control Low-E Offers an ideal balance of solar control and high visibility by blocking 95% of UV rays while maintaining the interior temperature.
